Is it just the cynic in me or does anyone else find it suspect that literally no one has came back with, "Mine's at the dealer waiting for repairs." ??
I would assume that Jeep wouldn't throw out this recall where it's costing them millions in manpower hours across the nation if there really was no concern. Are we really getting a legit inspection or a "looks good, sent it out, next !!" quick look ?
Recalls are much more serious than TSB's or "Customer Satisfaction" notices. I mean, almost EVERY Renegade owner with the 2.4 Tiger Shark engine (including me) had excessive oil consumption issues. Did Jeep release a recall ? Nope, they did a "Customer Satisfaction" type notice; bring it in, we'll look at it. This was a known defect, yet no recall. Jeep just said, "It's normal for the engine to consume up to 1 quart of oil every 1,000 miles.". Uh, no it's not.
Recalls are not sent out willy-nilly, it costs too much.
I thought once my Gladiator got the all-clear, I was good. Now I'm thinking if it DOES burn down, Jeep will just say, "It was good when we looked at it, we have the paperwork; sorry. Call your insurance carrier.".
